News Now has a piece running on Duff's link with Swansea, saying that he is keen on the move to Wales!!

Andy Gids on Twitter reporting Duff has been approached by Swansea.

The more credible journalists, local and national, who normally do a bit of checking before they run a storyline, seem to be adding strength to this rumour. We should know more in the next few days if there is owt in it.

Swansea comes within my "fits in with the family" criteria.

This one is worrying! If we lose him with so much of the window to run, I can see him trying to take Mads and Connell with him and possibly speaking to Bobby Thomas and Istead!
Not to mention Devaney and Patterson probably going with him!
We could end up with another complete overhaul.

Any good news

Way I see it is that we lose owt that's good. It's been proven time and time again. We ent got the ambition and drive to form a solid football club with any foundation. John Dennis had no dosh but at least we had integrity and ambition although we still had to sell but not on the scale that we do now. Back then under this regime, Redders, De Zeeuw, Watson and Wilson would've been gone by the start of 96/97.

The fans get fed the usual ballax- "They didn’t want to be here so it's best all round that they left" No Fekker wants to be here by the sounds of it. Every outgoing transfer in recent years is a case of "it was best they moved on"

Every summer and January supporting this club you're just sitting uncomfortably waiting for the inevitable speculating and speculating.

You say - ‘We ant got ambition’
Then in another thread you say you ‘ain’t bothered what attendance we get’.
Can you see the link ?
One feeds the other.

And the thing about Barnsley no one knows the potential because we’ve never had a sustained period of success.

That's precisely why I dunt care what attendance we get. This moneyball system has ground me down because it takes everything away that's good. It's a business as opposed to a football club. My criticism is genuine rather than for the sake of it because I'm sick of feeling like this every transfer window. All we get is trepidation. We can't get excited either about prospective signings cos ivry bugga we sign thaz nivver heard of. Nar wiv got Khaled promises of big news and nearly a month has passed by wi art nowt happening. Ad sooner he not opened his gob at all.
